DearComrade,

Ishould like to give a lecture in Zurich about the middle
of October on “The International Conference of September
5--8,
1915”.[1]If the subject is suitable, and can yield even
a small return, let me know. (I am also writing to Geneva
about this; we must agree beforehand about thedates. I am
asking them in Geneva to have posters printed for both
occasions, leaving out the town and the date.) Let me know
your opinion as soon as you can.

Bythe way. Will you send me Axelrod’s German
pamphlet on the tasks of international
Social-Democracy,[2]which appeared in Zurich recently? I am curious to have a
look at it.

(Weshall publish a report on the conference in the C.O.—
and thenNashe Slovoand theSocialist-Revolutionaries,
etc., etc., will follow. But I shall deal with it in greater
detail than in the press, and shall make an assessment and
draw the conclusions.)

Bestregards,Yours,Lenin
